Wheel bearing install help

That is the basic manual process. I will do it that way and then recheck to see if there is any play in the bearing after backing off as the manual says. If so, I'l finger tighten out the play and then find a holeset on the nut retainer that works for that position of the castle nut. Basically, you want no pre-load on the bearing (no real torque left on the nut); but too loose will cause premature bearing wear.

I assume you packed the bearings with fresh grease?
